Benefits of using Revit Architecture for 3D Renders

Autodesk Revit was introduced well over a decade ago, it is software for architects, designers, MEP engineers, structural engineers and contractors. Over the years, Revit adoption has progressed rapidly in the AEC industry, which in itself has seen revolutionary developments in the same period.

Revit is available in many packages, which includes, Autodesk Revit Architecture and Autodesk Revit MEP, amongst others. Autodesk Revit Architecture provides an array of tools required for projects across a range of architectural sectors, including home building and retail  along with the ability to prepare 3D renders. It is a tool extensively used by companies providing Architectural CAD Services, Architectural Drafting Service and Architectural 3D Rendering Services.

Revit architecture utilises parametric design processes which enable seamless modification of a related environment whenever an element in the adjacent environment is changed, thus maintaining continuity within a single project file. One of the more recent tools of Revit architecture is its ability to generate 3D renders, as 3D renders enable architects, consultants and associated professionals to present their design ideas and  architectural vision through 3D images to clients and associated project stakeholders. The main highlight of architectural rendering using Revit Architecture is its capability to augment visualization and facilitate the creation of 3D views.

Listed below are a few of the features and benefits of using Revit Architecture for 3D renders:

• Precise sun settings in the renders –

 Revit Architecture carries settings to produce accurate colour reproduction such as proper set up of  lighting and materials. Exterior daytime renders are created by using sun setting option, allowing to  create a precise sun angle and position relative to the building. Revit Architecture also accurately  portrays the sunlight for specific locations around the world, by just stating time and date with the  desired location in the settings.

• Accurate production of Resolution -

 Based upon client requirements and the end use of the image, the resolution of rendered images can  be selected. If the rendered image is going to be used for a large presentation board then a high  resolution setting can be selected and for a relatively small image, where the level of detail is less, a  lower resolution setting can be selected.

• Comparatively quicker than the competition -

 The majority of the competitive rendering engines utilise a high amount of CPU memory and also  require advanced GPU’s, which ultimately results in a lot of time consumption to produce high  quality renders. Revit Architecture is fine tuned to utilise less CPU memory and in most cases does  not require a GPU to handle complex scenes and lightings, improving the overall efficiency and  creating high resolution renders in significantly less time.

• Higher reliability ratio -

 Due to advanced settings that provide the best performance under varied settings,  Revit Architecture  creates renders with high resolution in much less time, where similar rendering engines fail to create  renders of lower resolution. Hence, along with providing an optimum output, Revit Architecture is a  highly reliable tool to create high quality 3D renders.

• Variety of tool options -

 Revit Architecture comes  with a variety of tool options, such as a visualisation related ‘election  tool’  in the ‘View’ panel on the ‘Modify’ tab. There are many more similar tools available on Revit  Architecture which can be useful for various tasks other than creating renders.

Revit Architecture is becoming one of the more versatile tools for overall design modeling and documentation.  The ability to generate 3D renders using an array of options has broadened the appeal and use of the tool for architects and designers.There are a variety of additional benefits of using Revit Architecture for 3D Renders other than the few listed above, which are updated in every new iteration of the software, making it a sought after tool for designers around the world..

The Importance of Retail 3D Rendering

Retail stores are much more than stores displaying products. It is also about providing a lifestyle experience to consumers, persuading them to linger in the store and influencing their mood. An engaging retail store design in sync with your brand can provide customers with a new retail experience. You just have to make sure that the first impression becomes a lasting impression. To make that first impression of a retail store a perfect one, retail 3d rendering plays a vital role.

Suppose you have a perfect design, a concept or a structure of your retail shop visualized in your brain. An image, so intricate, that it would be difficult to put it on paper as an image. It would take a minimum of three drawings viz. the top view, front view and the side view just to give a sketch of the mental image that proves your concept. So convoluted, that only the artistically abled few would be able to grasp it and picture it from all angles. While all the measurements of the image are explicit, it gives no visual perception of the depth. Thankfully, 3D Architectural Visualization services are offered especially to overcome this shortcoming.

3D Architectural Rendering services are conceptual illustrations of the proposed architectural plan with photo-realistic effects to visualize the final structure before it is actually built. It is an excellent and fast technique to get your ideas from concept to prototype. It also helps the designers and architects to find out any structural flaws or find out if a re-design is needed. It is an art that takes you on a virtual tour of your imagination.

Retail 3D Rendering bridges the gap between imagination and reality to an extent that it is difficult to distinguish retail stores from photographs in their realism. It acts as an effective marketing tool, helping to communicate your idea clearly to the clients rather than relying on blueprints. The image you had in your mind of the store would be translated into a vision of the future using retail 3D rendering. It is a more effective communication technique compared to the conventional 2D CAD drawing.

With having prior knowledge of how the retail store would appear when finished, the design could be altered accordingly to get the desired look. Without the Architectural3D rendering technique, re-design would have been a costly affair involving money and time loss. With your visualization being transformed into a reality, the retail store would definitely leave a lasting impression on the consumers.
